All-new Volkswagen e-Golf

AMI NZ Autocar Electric Car of the Year 2018

Like most electric vehicles the e-Golf comes with a trickle charger, a domestic friendly plug socket that will recharge the e-Golf overnight which is the most commonly used method of recharging. Alternatively, you can take advantage of the ever-growing fast stations which provide 80% battery charge in just over 30 minutes.

Like every Volkswagen Golf it is characterised by its popularity, polished interior and exterior design, innovative technology and high-quality engineering. Only now you can forget the petrol bills. The exterior is familiar, with added e-design features such as low power consuming LED lights, blue design elements and 16 inch aerodynamic alloy wheels. It’s obvious the e-Golf focuses on minimising its carbon footprint in style.

We put the e-Golf to the challenge with the New Zealand Automobile Association (AA), to see how far the e-Golf could travel in real-world conditions. The results: with two people in the vehicle, normal road conditions and air-conditioning on, the e-Golf traveled from Auckland CBD to Tokoroa – an impressive distance of 220km.

AMI NZ Autocar Electric Car of the Year 2018

“The e-Golf impressed us as a discreet EV package, looking like any other Golf as opposed to a visual oddity. It is one of the least expensive new EVs and comes comprehensively specified. Its range is sufficient, and drives much like a regular Golf, but with more oomph around town, and it’s so quiet and refined.”– Judging Panel, AMI NZ Autocar Car of the Year Awards

Drive

If you’re seeking a nippy commuter, you’ve found one. The e-Golf’s effortless power-steering and acceleration is as responsive as an on-off switch, whilst the position of the batteries help produce a nimble low centre of gravity. Tailor your driving experience with Normal, Eco and Eco + driving modes, or maybe you’d like to choose 1 of 4 levels of power regeneration to recharge your vehicle’s batteries when braking.

Connectivity & Infotainment

Equipped with a 9.2 inch infotainment screen, gesture control, modern entertainment functions and mobile phone interfaces, the new e-Golf offers various ways to conveniently stay connected with the outside world.

Comfort

Whilst we didn’t feel the need to change the Golf’s already perfected internal appearance, there are some optional extras for you to consider. A digitalised Active Info Display can provide information far beyond your speed and battery consumption. Sophisticated comfort comes as standard with the Volkswagen e-Golf, but ambient lighting and a Vienna Leather option create beyond first-class experiences.

Front Assist

Being behind the wheel of a new e-Golf is a relaxing experience in itself, but with e-Golf’s Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) as standard you can be even more relaxed on the road. Front Assist uses radar technology to monitor the road ahead. If the e-Golf detects any dangerous objects approaching it will apply the brakes automatically – we call this technology Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Monitoring.

Blind Spot and Rear Traffic Sensors

Blind Spot and Traffic Sensors are definitely a great source of assistance when you require a little reassurance on whether to reverse out of a driveway or when to change lanes. Just don’t forget who’s actually ‘steering the ship’!

Park Distance Control

The often stressful and frustrating task of parallel parking is history. Forget straining your neck just to park your vehicle or even find a parking space for that fact! The e-Golf’s ultrasound sensors will assist – you’ve got yourself a new parking coordinator.

Traffic Jam Assist and Emergency Assist

Avoid traffic jam collisions and forget start-stop driving with the Traffic Jam Assist system. Put your mind at rest with Emergency Assist, a system that registers when the driver is unresponsive by taking semi-automatic control of the vehicle (part of the Lane Assist Plus option).
